It's like the blind leading the blind...or the humble leading the blind...or the blind leading the humble.

Level 5 leaders channel their ego needs away from themselves and into the larger goal of building a great company. It's not that Level 5 leaders have no ego or self-interest. Indeed, they are incredibly ambitious -- but their ambition is first and foremost for the institution, not themselves.

A Cheer For The Lebanese

TODAY I'M CHEERING FOR THE LEBANESE as they created a citizen voice loud enough to dismantle their pro-Syrian government! Organizing a new government will probably be messy, but at least they have friends and counsel in Iraq and Afghanistan.

UPDATE: And now I am crying for the grieving families of potential recruits for the Iraqi Police. The terrorists are backing ever nearer to the corner, I expect the incidents will only get bloodier for a while yet.
